Phoenix

Oh the heavens under me 

I’m dancing on an invisible twine 

Where will I land when I fall 

On a fluffy cloud

On the cold hard ground 

Or will I never stop falling? 

Reaching for the sky above

Singing to the fire below 

Stuck inbetween 

And nowhere to go 

You meet someone

You feel you care 

Or is it just the glowing stare? 

And it will burn you to the ground 

Burn until you’re found 

Rising out of the ashes 

Fiery winds on your skin 

Almost invisible through the flashes 

You are reborn again 

With each hand you hold your past and future 

Together we will run 

Towards an uncertainty I’m not scared of anymore

I can see it glisten, the end of it all
